Code-settings-sync: Extension Doesnt Support OSS Variant

[LC43]

Visual Studio Code Version : [1.4.0 ]
Code Sync Settings Version : [ 2.0.6 ]
Operating System : [ linux ]

Hi, I have a machine A with vscode - Open Sourse ( OSS ) and another B with default vscode.

On machine A

the configs are in: ~/.config/Code - OSS/

and extensions on: ~/.vscode-oss/

---

On Machine B:

the configs are in: ~/.config/Code/

and extensions on: ~/.vscode/

Anyway, this will change soon, as per #3884 but it will, maintain the -variant, part.

Hope you have time to look this up!

thanks!

Thanks, I will work on it.

There are officialy two variants of Code - Insiders and stable.
I think extension should be limited to those two only.

I've found this issue while trying to sync to machines with vscode-oss installed.

Will oss version be supported later?

[shanalikhan]

May be it will be supported later
But i asked the Code team on https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/13935
and their response was

But those are the only two variants.

Stable and Insiders.

Thanks for taking time to handle the issue.

For now I've used this as workaround:

ln -s ~/.vscode-oss ~/.vscode
ln -s ~/.config/Code\ -\ OSS ~/.config/Code

It worked, but I suppose is not a good practice

I've installed the flatpak version from flathub, and I needed to create these symlinks as a workaround:

ln -s ~/.var/app/com.visualstudio.code/config/Code ~/.config/Code
ln -s ~/.var/app/com.visualstudio.code/data/vscode ~/.vscode
